The Chinese Segway Division Seemed Unstoppable... Until Criminals Started Using Staircases

[Quemaqua]

Is it just me, or does that look really, really uncomfortable?  And counter-productive to the end goal of shooting someone?

I love this comment:

er... Pew pew pew? Seriously, we need video. And pew pew pews.

Notice that the guy in the center background has a much bigger gun than everyone else. Presumably his Segway skills are top-notch.

I bet he's like a fighter pilot, and the ladies go wild for him.

Wow, he is the elite ninja sniper of the segway shock troopers.

Seriously, I have no idea what kind of guns those could be, even a 9mm mp5 would dwarf one of those things.

How are they supposed to turn and shoot at the same time? Hopefully someone more Segway-savvy can enlighten me.

[Antares]

Those things go a maximum of like 3mph, you'd be better off just walking and shooting.  At least that way you could move sideways, and you know, over terrain that isn't completely flat.

[WindAndConfusion]

They aren't actual Segways. They're Chinese-military-grade knockoffs.

Presumably these Segways go much faster, and in case of an accident, there is a moderate chance of the rider being impaled on the handlebars.

Haha, this shit can't be real can it?
